ATK
(NYSE: ATK), a leader in weaponized, special-mission aircraft, in conjunction
with King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB), has delivered
the first modified CASA-235 light gunship aircraft to the Hashemite Kingdom
of Jordan. ATK was awarded a contract by KADDB to modify two of the country's
CASA-235 transport aircraft into highly capable and cost-effective special
mission aircraft. The completed aircraft has been delivered to Jordan's
Special Operations Aviation Unit and is one of the main attraction at
SOFEX 2014, the Special Operations Conference and Exhibition currently
held in Amman, Jordan.

ATK, with the full
participation of KADDB, began the U.S.-based flight and gun test program
in the fall of 2013. The comprehensive test program was conducted to
validate the performance of the gunship and to perform system checkouts.
Testing included a full suite of aircraft flying qualities, sensor and
weapons testing, with accuracy validation completed in March 2014.

"The delivery
of this light gunship is a significant achievement for the program and
our collaborative partnership with KADDB and Jordan," said Mike
Kahn, senior vice president and president of ATK's Defense Group. "We
brought together our strong weapon and mission systems expertise from
across ATK Defense to provide this important multi-mission gunship capability
to our allies."

In collaboration
with KADDB, ATK developed and provided the system integration and aircraft
modifications to turn a CASA-235 cargo plane into a multi-mission gunship.
Modifications included the installation of an electro-optical targeting
system, a laser designator, aircraft self-protection equipment, a synthetic
aperture radar and an armaments capability that provides sustained and
precise firepower in a variety of scenarios using Hellfire laser-guided
missiles, 2.75-inch rockets, and a side-mounted M230 link-fed 30mm chain
gun. The ATK-supplied gun is controlled by the fire-control system,
automatically linking the gun's aim point to the selected target of
interest, as illuminated by the mission operators using the laser designator.
These capabilities are integrated with and controlled by ATK's Mission
System that provides both day and night reconnaissance and fire control
capabilities, and the ability to acquire, monitor and track items of
interest.
